    Disappointed

    After checking the excellent reviews for the hotel we are really disappointed with the place. TUI rate it as a 5* hotel, in our opinion the hotel has 5* facilities but they are not in 5* condition. The pool is in poor condition tiles with missing everywhere. We have cuts and ruined swimwear. The rooms have a tired look and feel, the bed in particular. The AC is rubbish, noisy and the ceiling fan the same. To get the room remotely cool you have to have the thermostat on 10 degC and the fan on full. Power cuts are a daily occurrence! The nastiest problem are the mosquitoes, they are here in swarms. We have been bitten all over, at one point I brushed 3 away all sucking on my arm at the same time. We have mosquito bracelets and mosquito repellent on, this does not deter them. On the plus side the staff are excellent. The food, drink and restaurant areas are excellent and we have really enjoyed the swim up bar area. The hotel is kept spotlessly clean.

    Can never fault this place. This is the second time of coming here and it always makes me happy and relaxed. The staff are all very friendly and so helpful. Food is amazing. Entertainment very good. The hotel is very beautiful, clean but a few maintenance needs to be done on the pool and some very very miner details. But do not let this put you off. Kids pool is great just could do with a drinks station and toilets. Overall an excellent hotel and will definitely be coming back.

    We have just returned from Riu Karamboa Cape Verde had a fantastic time we were grandparents travelling with our 11 year old grandson who loved the hotel as much as us. The choice of food in the main restaurant was varied”something for everyone” And what can I say about the day time entertainment team, they were brilliant they never stopped working full on, all day. All staff were friendly. Spa is definitely worth a visit my husband and I both had massages, again excellent. The only negative point is there are missing mosaic tiles in the swimming pool,and quite a few people had minor cuts to there feet, however there is always a lifeguard/ first aided to administer first aid at all times. Visited the Africa and seafood restaurants, both very good. We will definitely return to this hotel again.
    Absolutely amazing holiday

    This is our second holiday here we absolutely love it. The staff tony macaroni and elastic bombastic are so so so good with the kids. Tony macaroni is half the reason we returned here as he’s fantastic with the kids! We have a 5 and 6 year old and they love it. The pool needs some tlc but they are renovating this and that’s our only bug. The hotels great we love the food, drinks and as i say the staff our amazing. The kids love the shows & we will be coming back again next year
    Fantastic Holiday / Fantastic place

    We had an absolutely great time in this hotel. We had been in a few different countries where we stayed in hotels rated as 5 stars, and we have to say this was the best so far. The whole hotel is amazing. The food was fantastic, we used the main buffet where the variety and quality of the food is excellent. The room and service was very good. The staff at the hotel were always friendly and helpful. Awesome entertainment and beach. Hygiene generally very good too. We would go back to this place with no excitations at all. We don’t understand how anyone would complain about this hotel.
